New Delhi: Jagga Jasoos, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, releases this Friday after remaining in the works for nearly five years. In an industry that doesn’t spend more than a couple of months on a project now, that is a huge aberration. A look at 10 other films whose release saw long delays.

1. Raees (2017): Shah Rukh Khan’s crime thriller began shooting in 2015 and was supposed to release for Eid 2016 alongside Salman Khan’s Sultan. The film finally hit screens in January this year and made Rs137 crore in box office collections.

2. I Love NY (2015): The romantic comedy, featuring Sunny Deol and Kangana Ranaut, began filming in 2011 and released four years later. The film earned Rs1 crore at the box office.

3. Ugly (2014): Anurag Kashyap’s neo-noir psychological thriller underwent a year-long delay after the director protested against the anti-smoking disclaimer required by the censor board. The film ultimately earned Rs6 crore at the box office.

4. Milenge Milenge (2010): The romantic film, starring Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan, was launched in 2004 but hit screens only six years later. It earned Rs6 crore in box office collections.

5. Aashayein (2010): Run-ins between co-producers resulted in a one-and-a-half year delay for the John Abraham-starrer. The Nagesh Kukunoor-directed film managed Rs2 crore at the box office.

8. Ye Lamhe Judaai Ke (2004): The film, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Raveena Tandon, made it to theatres nearly 10 years after it began filming. Reportedly, the lead pair didn’t even dub for their parts in the romantic film that made about Rs57 lakh in box office collections.
